Sure. Could also be bad grounds @ the lamp sockets, wiring harness issues.
Probably will have to follow the voltage with a DVM or test light to see where it's getting lost.
Does your year have the 4 headlamp fuses in the kick panel fuse block?

What is the flow is the power flow battery, to engine fuse box, to kick panel fuse box, to headlight switch, to high beam switch, to head lights?

Pull and hold the turn signal paddle toward you as you sit in the driver's seat ( this is how you normally flash the headlights for oncoming high beamers).
If your headlights burn high and low beams while the paddle is held, I would suggest changing the dimmer switch. The wiring, fuses, and circuit breakers are fine, as is the headlight switch on the dash.
